Reborn (Acoustic)

Verse 1
Born from chaos into this life
I've been adjusting for a long time
Bouncing back is just a past time
That's how I'm sure that I'll be just fine.
My philosophy is simple
Do exactly what you need to
You're a victim of your own mind
Treat it right and you'll be just fine.
The further you fell the higher you climbed.
CHORUS
We set fire to our love, watched it burning just for fun
I slept a thousand times, and each time it felt new.
To preserve the truth you've got to lie, to be reborn you've got to die
I woke over and over again and each time it felt new.
Verse 2
I would do it all again
Sweet beginning bitter end
It's a terrible thing
When you mourn the living.
I'm choking on my own pride
You'll only see me when my head's held high
Preoccupy my mind
I'm gaining strength with each stride.
I had a haircut Samson and Delilah style.
CHORUS
We set fire to our love, watched it burning just for fun
I slept a thousand times, and each time it felt new.
To preserve the truth you've got to lie, to be reborn you've got to die
I woke over and over again, and each time it felt new.
BRIDGE
When the time comes, better be strong
This is your battlefield
How I wish you were here, still near, still dear
But I hope you find your happiness
Throw me frozen-hearted into the flames
And I will burn with you just the same
My blood runs thick through these veins
That hold the warmth of your memory
If you loved me, why’d you leave?
CHORUS
We set fire to our love, watched it burning just for fun
I slept a thousand times, and each time it felt new.
To preserve the truth you've got to lie, to be reborn you've got to die
I woke over and over again, and each time it felt new.

Blindfold (Acoustic)

VERSE1
I’ve been here before I know the score cause I’m the one that wrote it
And when you hear nothing from me I hope that you both feel disappointed
I won’t get down on my knees I will stand and drink your poison
And I will have my laughs by leaving you believing I’m heart broken
CHORUS
Didn’t anybody tell you, didn’t anybody make you see?
That for once in a lifetime, I get a chance to be free
And you can go forever stop at nothing running circles round me blindfold
Though it’s hard for me to feel dramatic, systematic as and when you please.
VERSE2
Didn’t come into this world alone since I was born I’ve been surrounded
Got a head on my shoulders and a heart beating hard against my lungs
I won’t do as you two please, I won’t give you satisfaction
Life is longer than a summer lost you’re just dust on a highway
CHORUS
Didn’t anybody tell you, did anybody make you see?
That for once in a lifetime, I get a chance to be free
And you can go forever stop at nothing running circles round me blindfold
Though it’s hard for me to be dramatic, systematic as and when you please.
BRIDGE
The chain you hung round my neck’s been changing me
Elastic girl, you spring back so perfectly
And you could go forever stop at nothing running circles round me blindfold
But you set me free by proving that you are no good for me
CHORUS
Didn’t anybody tell you, did anybody make you see?
That for once in a lifetime, I get a chance to be free
And you can go forever stop at nothing running circles round me blindfold
Though it’s hard for me to be dramatic, systematic as and when you please.

Pick Me Up (Acoustic)

Verse 1
I thought that you were, something to be discovered
You looked at me as, your favourite plaything
We’re turning cartwheels, I’m circle rolling with you.
I float along like, free-standing punchbag
You knock me too hard, I bounce back
We’re falling to the ground, drop together make no sound.
Pre-Chrous
I don’t really wanna be without you
You push me to the edge
I’m just something you keep locked up in your head.
I don’t really wanna be without you
Feel you blind-side
Keep my left hand, I’m coming for the ride.
Chorus
Don’t put me down lover, cause you’re my pick me up
I don’t want no other, cause I aint had enough
Just get your shit together so we can fall in love.
Verse 2
Little bit of magic, disappearing act
You pull all kinds of shit out of your rabbit hat
I get surprised like I aint seen that trick before.
A little tumble, and a little fall
Turn nothing into something, and you can keep it all
You’re fire-breathing, and I eat it up.
Pre-Chrous
I don’t really wanna be without you
You push me to the edge
I’m just something you keep locked up in your head.
I don’t really wanna be without you
Feel you blind-side
Keep my left hand, I’m coming for the ride.
Chorus
Don’t put me down lover, cause you’re my pick me up
And I don’t want no other, cause I aint had enough
Just get your shit together so we can fall in love.
Don’t put me down lover, cause you’re my pick me up
I don’t want no other, cause I aint had enough
Just get your shit together so we can fall in love.
Verse 3
I make my own way, don’t do what they say
I can fit my foot into my big mouth anyway
Why can’t I leave this alone alone alone…
Chorus
Don’t put me down lover, cause you’re my pick me up
And I don’t want no other, cause I aint had enough
Just get your shit together so we can fall in love.
Don’t put me down lover, cause you’re my pick me up
I don’t want no other, cause I aint had enough
Just get your shit together so we can fall in love.
Bridge
I don’t really wanna be without you you’re my pick me up x3
I don’t really wanna be without you.
End Chorus
Don’t put me down lover, cause you’re my pick me up
I don’t want no other, cause I aint had enough
Just get your shit together so we can fall in love.

Spiders (Acoustic)

VERSE
I don't feel at home in my own home
Funny feeling lonely when you're not alone
Hallucinating bats up the kitchen wall
Scared they'll get caught up in my head but they're not there at all.
1 head, 2 minds
Hands pressing glass from separate sides
3 seconds till I dive
1, 2, 3, STOP.
CHORUS
The spiders in my head they just won't leave me alone
I pick the legs off while I wait for the seconds to slow
Let them have their way they'll tempt you out of your mind
There's comfort in your stiff upper eye.
Eye, I, eye, I, eye, I.
VERSE
Uncertainty collects like fallen rain
Drip drop to the gutter but I get up again
Underwater white noise in my right brain
Been getting into forgetting like it's a physical thing
1 head, 2 minds
Hands pressing glass from separate sides
3 seconds till I dive
1, 2, 3, STOP.
CHORUS
The spiders in my head they just won't leave me alone
I pick the legs off while I wait for the seconds to slow
Let them have their way they'll tempt you out of your mind
There's comfort in your stiff upper eye.
Eye, I, eye, I, eye, I.

I don't hear a lot of this kind of music, gives me ,loose Sonic Youth vibes. Everything about it is cool, like too cool for school cool. I want to skip class and spray paint an alley with these people.

This almost a pop song. Very light and cheerful

I was one of the few who couldn't quite embrace "New Long Leg", so when they released the follow-up "Stumpwork", it was much easier to embrace. More haunting, adventurous and brooding than its' predecessor.

A Tiger Walks The Streets
by Supercaan
Atmospheric indie rock with the moody quality of dream pop and the gleaming edges of darkwave.
go to album
Noise pop at its finest from this rambunctious Melbourne group that thrives on louder-than-loud guitars and belted-out vocals.
go to album
An avant-garde odyssey from the Swiss group is a wavy, eerie melange of blues, folk, post-rock, and dub.

Bug Eggs/Tony Speaks!
by Dry Cleaning
supported by 5 fans who also own “Be Still (acoustic EP)”
This is a sharp post-punk single. It's pretty much a double A-side.
